VIA Hyperion drivers are suitable for any VIA chipset and all Microsoft Windows Operating Systems (Win95/98/98SE users, see **Note below). If you are looking for VIA 4in1 drivers, these are the drivers you are looking for. The "Hyperion" name was added to the 4in1 driver set name in December 2002. This is the third release with the Hyperion name. You can find more information here.Users with hybrid chipsets (with a VIA southbridge and AMD northbridge for example) should obtain drivers from their motherboard manufacturer.

**Note: Win95/98/98SE are now relatively old operating systems, and drivers are no longer optimized for those operating systems. Many users of VIA chipsets who run Win95/98/98SE report that using an older version, such as VIA 4in1 version 4.35, they experience a more responsive system.

Changes in Current Version:
Update via chipset driver(INF) from v1.70a to v1.80a

Have you tried uninstalling them.
Then download a fresh copy and try installing again.

care to go over how to install them? :D I looked in the add/remove programs, nothing there.

I can remove them manually in the hardware device list, but that will take time...
any ideas for proper uninstallation?

The normal procedure for uninstalling them is to run the setup.exe and select the uninstall option.

But first i would advise you download a duplicate copy,then unzip the package and overwrite the components you already have in that folder.Then try the install again.

Has anyone seen 'actual' improvement with updating these drivers?

I haven't noticed any improvement but it could be just optimisation of code that the via hardware uses.. or it could be bug fixes, or any number of improvements.

Anyone have a definite change log?
